Stress Choke

I woke up choked up
could not breathe 
felt like I have to heave 
throwing up everyday
like its a pet peeve 
angst choking in my sleep
from the food I eat 
stress causing sleep lock 
gives me the creeps
the sheep flock 
like a new drug 
on the streets 
birds of the same feather
flock together
forced to face everyday 
hoping for better
be a leader not a follower
write your own story
live your own life 
forget bad thoughts like Dory 
swim with the fin you do have
and strive for glory
never give up let go of worry
life will get better slowly
not in a hurry.
